ONE OF THE LOST ARTS.

The Ingenious Way in Which Wine Is Kept
from Fermentlng.
New York Mail and Express.
There is some unfermeuted wine, said West
street wine i'm porter, that will keep as long as
is desired.
lis there anything peculiar about the method
of keeping it9"
ooh. yes The pure juice of the grape is press-
cd into the bottles. Then some olive oil is pour
cd in at the top of each bottle. This effsctually
excludes the air, and none work down into
the wine to ferment it. At the same time any
air that was in the juice finds its way up through
the oil
'.ls this new discovery"
Eyes lit hes been brought into use within a
few years"
But one would suppose the oil would flow in
to the glass wheU the bottle was put in use"
THAT is prevented by sopping up the oil with
cotton when the bottle is uncorked. The cotton
absorbs it little BY little. All that is needed is
little patience"
The reporter mentioned the matt er to a doctor
of divinity noted for his researches ancient his
tory and the manners and customs OF nations
That is real discovery" said he. That is
mention in his celebrated lecture. This art of
keeping unfermented wine was practiced by the
Egyptians many years before Christ But it was
lost It has now been rediscovered and is coming
into general use.

without risking his life a score of times There

weeds waved to let the reptile pass.

by throwing herself into the thick of this crowd
of snakes. who would have closed on to her like
the arms of some giant octopus, the half breed
would not have hesisated for a moment!
But only some special Intervention of Provi-
dence could save her. And Zermah knelt and
prayed for help.
Any moment some Of Texar's companions

Texar remaining on the island went back to the
wigwam and missed her, would he not come in
pursuit!
"On God! have pity on mel"
And she prayed she looked to the right Of

A trunk of a tree came drifting along from the
right, and had just struck against the bank.
Would not this tree afford the means of crossing

would be no worse off than they were now.
Without stopping to think. Zermah. as If by
instinct, ran to the floating tree. If she had
stopped she might have hesitated at the hun

chances that the weeds would keep the trunk
motionless in mid channel But ANYTHING would

There was no sound from the island the

half-breed would hide away till night time. and
then enter the forest without being seen. Hope
returned to her. She scarcely gave a thought to
the reptiles who SWAN open-mouthed around the
tree and glided over its lower branches. The
little girl kept her eyes shut Zermah clasped
her to her breast with hand. while she held
the knife in the other ready to defend herself.

Suddenly she clasped the child more tightly to
